A recently published collection of illustrations turning some of history’s most odious dictators into cute and sexy moe bishoujo has been pre-emptively slammed by the Japanese themselves for its historical insensitivity…
A statement alleging wartime “comfort women” were nothing more than common prostitutes who “earned incomes far in excess of even generals,” and endorsed by a slew of eminent Japanese establishment figures including ex-PM Abe, has been published in a US newspaper.
I know readers in SanCom is very Pro Japan. You are missing the point here. The way the Japanese government and public denies historical facts is ignorance at best, incrediably offensive and imoral to the... More
Blah blah blah. Tired of the whining. I have a good discussion about Korea and Japan and the relationship with the US but I'll save that for another day. Not suitable for this article.... More
Rare colour photographs of the captivity enjoyed by Japanese-Americans in WWII thanks to the tender hospitality of Uncle Sam have been causing much controversy amongst Japanese online, with many keen either to burnish their victimhood or praise the relatively humane nature of “the USA’s concentration camps.”
Tokyo mayor Shintaro Ishihara’s latest foray into promoting international goodwill is to assert that Japan’s wartime “comfort women” were all willing Korean prostitutes only interested in the money.
There is an intense book The Snap of the Dragon's Tail written by Wang May Ming who is the granddaughter of one of the Chinese sex slaves. It is on Amazon and Nook. Pretty intensely sexual... More
ishihara is scum. He keeps ruining the integrity of Japan through these thoughtless remarks and his asinine policies. I don't understand how he was elected so much and now is in a position of power... More
South Korea’s president has caused a scandal by demanding “the Japanese king” grovel before the Korean people in apology should he wish to set foot on that peninsula’s sacred soil.
Ah, except you guys haven't exactly gotten over it. You act like the Irish completely forgotten about it even though there are new Irish terror groups. Get off your pedestal, you and your country are... More
Hey, there are right-wing nutjobs in every country. Have you heard the stuff Ishihara has said? Japan is no better if you want single out individuals to represent a country.... More
The well deserved reputation of Americans for tolerance and humility has been highlighted by a series of widely circulated Tweets trumpeting the USA’s Olympic victory over Japan as “revenge for Pearl Harbor” (two nukes and 70 years of suzerainty apparently not being enough), in the otherwise obscure and unwatched sport of women’s football – where the USA received a drubbing at the hands of Japan’s team in 2011, which was responded to with the expected good grace.
Just because you suck at making friends doesn't mean the rest of us do. I've made friends with the majority of Japanese people I've met, and that's a lot more than I can say for... More
If my friends or family posted shit like this first I would knocked the hell out of them. Then I would dis- own them. Shit this ignorant don't fly in my circle.... More
The mascot for an obscure Japanese town has caused a scandal after daring to say that Japan killed 20 million in a war of aggression, with 2ch and Japan’s online right banding together in a successful effort to silence him.
To quite many here who're white-washing US actions in WW2: There's the little spicy bit that US intelligence had significant evidence that Japan was probably getting ready to offer surrender. Only unconditional surrender wasn't really expected... More
But Adenauer also sold shitloads of weapons to Franco, aiding him in his own little dictatorship only because franco played the "Or else Socialists take over Europe!" card! :D... More
Tokyo fuhrer Shintaro Ishihara has paid his annual respects to Japanese war criminals at Yasukuni, saying Japan’s current government “is not Japanese” for choosing to stay away.
Joining the ranks of fellow Americans keen to joke about the misfortunes of the yellow races or ascribe racial guilt to the Japanese for Pearl Harbor/whaling/non-whiteness, Family Guy producer and writer Alec Sulkin has been caught pointing out that Japanese deaths don’t matter as their ancestors once bombed a naval base at Pearl Harbor.
Respectively operation downfall would probably have killed 5 million, and a blockade would've killed 20 million.... More
Operation Downfall or a blockade would have led to more deaths. Most importantly the Empire of Japan started the war. The USA had the right to seek an unconditional surrender (which they almost got too, they... More
The BBC is cancelling some of its filming in Japan in response to the complaints of the Japanese embassy about a comedy programme which called a man who survived two atomic bomb blasts “unlucky.”
The Japanese Embassy in London has issued a formal protest against the BBC for airing a programme daring to call a man who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world’s unluckiest man.
Lol Ishihara will probably use this in some way to bolster his call for arming Japan with nukes. I can see it now "The perverse nations of the world have made light of one of... More
"Hey Artefact, why don't you write a transcript of the clip in Japanese - it couldn't take more than 20 minutes. If 2ch read the actual dialogue, I'm sure they would see it's not really offensive.... More
An elderly Japanese veteran’s recollection of how he ordered his men to use a Chinese prisoner as a target for bayonet drill, reasoning that the soldiers needed to develop some “backbone,” is proving highly controversial online.
I hate to break it to you, but having the "big bully" in America has probably resulted in a decrease in major warfare. If only because the presence of a superpower means anyone that gets... More
Oh god are people still spewing this "the bomb saved lives" propaganda...... More
